Docker CI Test Harness
This directory contains a Docker-based CI test harness for the Ansible playbook. It validates convergence, correctness, and idempotency by running the playbook inside an Ubuntu 24.04 container.
Quick Start
# Run all tests
bash tests/run-tests.sh
# Or specify a distro (currently only ubuntu2404 available)
bash tests/run-tests.sh ubuntu2404
Test Structure
The test harness runs three sequential tests:
- Convergence: Runs the playbook with
ci_test=trueto verify it completes without errors - Verification: Runs
verify.ymlto assert the system is in the expected state - Idempotency: Runs the playbook a second time and verifies
changed=0
Files
Dockerfile.ubuntu2404- Ubuntu 24.04 container with Ansible pre-installedentrypoint.sh- Test execution script (convergence → verification → idempotency)verify.yml- Post-convergence assertions (user exists, packages installed, directories created, etc.)run-tests.sh- Local test runner script
CI Test Mode
The ci_test variable skips tasks that require:
- Docker-in-Docker (Docker CE installation)
- Kernel access (UFW/iptables firewall)
- systemd services (loginctl, daemon installation)
- External package installation (openclaw app install)
Everything else runs normally: package installation, user creation, Node.js/pnpm setup, directory structure, config file rendering, etc.
What Gets Tested
| Component | Tested? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| System packages (35+) | ✅ Yes | Full apt install |
| User creation + config | ✅ Yes | User, .bashrc, sudoers, SSH dir |
| Node.js + pnpm | ✅ Yes | Full install + version check |
| Directory structure | ✅ Yes | All .openclaw/* dirs with perms |
| Git global config | ✅ Yes | Aliases, default branch |
| Vim config | ✅ Yes | Template rendering |
| Docker CE install | ❌ No | Needs Docker-in-Docker |
| UFW / iptables | ❌ No | Needs kernel access |
| fail2ban / systemd | ❌ No | Needs running systemd |
| Tailscale | ❌ No | Disabled by default already |
| OpenClaw app install | ❌ No | External package |
| Idempotency | ✅ Yes | Second run must have 0 changes |
Exit Codes
0- All tests passed1- Test failure (convergence failed, verification failed, or idempotency check failed)
Development
To add tests for additional distributions:
- Create
Dockerfile.<distro>(e.g.,Dockerfile.debian12) - Run:
bash tests/run-tests.sh <distro>
The test harness automatically builds the image and runs the test suite.
